Its way worse than Apple admits . Its impossible to believe that they don't actually have a grasp on the scope of the problem; just because they're not coming out in a press release and saying "yeah failure rates are above 3

Except the filesystem. Which is what everyone seems to forget. And that's the big thing we're talking about here in reference to Ruby and tests being slow.

Yeah, the "community troubleshooting" on MacOS for anything beyond moderately complex is kind of funny, until you're the person trying to get help. Most of the time it involves five people stabbing in the dark with solutions

You can spin it however you want in your head, but the evidence is overwhelming: they intended this game to be a true multiplayer experience very early in development. They intended to have it done by release. As the release cycle went on a

Right... I mean, they said MULTIPLE times that it would have multiplayer. Not just an implication, but straight up saying "you could encounter other players, but the likelihood is so tiny because of the size of what we're building

I doubt that very much. They've pretty strongly implied that Apple TV+ is just Apple original content, not like Netflix or Amazon where its a mix of Originals and licensed content. If they own the content, they can distribute it wherev

Apple TV+ was announced for "100+ Countries at Launch".

Yeah I could use some clarification on whether this is real-time or not. If its real-time, then its among the most impressive tech demos ever showcased. If its pre-rendered then how is it different from the films Pixar and Dreamworks put ou

I don't think that'll be a huge issue. Google Cloud has regional US DCs in western Iowa and central South Carolina. A midpoint between those two locations roughly lands on Nashville TN, which is ~600 miles away from either. Light

It wasn't the right time for OnLive. The tech wasn't there, in networking infrastructure (the internet), compute infrastructure (DC tech), or hardware (graphics cards). To that last point; it is impossible to understate how fund

Do you really think data is delivered to people in those countries in any sort of latency that would make a service like this remotely enjoyable to use? A massive number of people in the US don't even have internet that could support s

There's so much that this will hurt in the gaming industry. Some of my thoughts: 1. As subscription services take over, the upfront revenue game studios see will drop. This is just simple math: Xbox Game Pass costs $10/month, whic

If you think Regulation is slow and difficult, just wait until you see how long it takes to change consumer behavior enough to make a difference.

Much like Oracle or IBM; they're a company that had some very interesting products and ideas in their day, and eventually just decided (or was forced, for internal reasons) to rest of their laurels. Today, they produce products that ar

Mostly just a very simple point: If you're an employee at a company, you have practically no right or expectation of privacy (applicable to this conversation). There are a few people in these comments saying things like "but the e

The most surprising thing about this article isn't the article; its the comments in here, and the surprising number of people who have no clue how Slack works or how corporate/enterprise regulation & compliance works.

It is believable. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be reamed like crazy for it, including fines. There's a difference between "this was an act of god accident" and "we created the environment where this acc

It doesn't seem like Apple said that Spotify wouldn't exist. Just that they wouldn't be the business they are today. Which is absolutely true of Microsoft as well. The sheer productivity boon that Office has added to business

You mean "Pikedream"? Its a play on words. One of Go's core developers is Rob Pike.

Worth saying: Now that ALBs support Lambda as a backend, reaching for APIG w/ a lambda proxy makes less sense, unless you're actually using a lot of the value-adds (like request validation/parsing and authn). Most setups of A

Yup. The cost is so irrelevant, its a little laughable how many other people keep bringing it up. The relevant metrics are People and Risk. If you host your own VM; ok, maybe it works great for you and you don't have to touch it. But t

If it doesn't make sense for you, then you're not a startup. That sounds ipso facto, like I'm saying "PaaS is the best option for startups, because if it didn't make sense you're not a startup." but I mean

Heroku costs $20/month/dyno. You can probably compare the performance of that to a t3.nano, which is ~$4/month. An engineer costs, lets say $7000/month. Now, all you have to ask is: How much time will the engineer be inv

Availability is a spectrum. There's a lot of room between "a single VM on a third-tier infrastructure provider" and "google.com". Hell, even "two VMs on a third-tier infrastructure provider" is better than

You can pick one sentence out of my comment and tear it apart, or actually read and understand the whole thing. Your choice. Managing servers is something no startup should be doing. Period. If you can SSH into it, you're wasting time
